• With the move, Sens. Sharif Street (D), Christine Tartaglione (D), Anthony Williams (D) and Jimmy Dillon (D) submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania fighting against any agreement in a lawsuit that seeks to allow operations of a center in Philadelphia that non-profit Safehouse would run.

South Divided Over Cannabis Legalization

• Two recent polls have investigated the sentiment on cannabis legalization in two Southern states. The survey from Winthrop University has revealed that residents of South Carolina support legalization of both recreational and medical use of cannabis, with 56% and 76%, respectively, backing the reform, reported Marijuana Moment.
